1'0 all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM E. WRIGHT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Adams, in thecounty of J eiferson and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cabinets for Holding Account-Books, and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled inthe art to' which it appertains to make-and use the same, reference be.- ing' had to the accompanying drawin s, and

to the letters of reference marked t ereon,

which form apart of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a cabinet for holding account-books; and the object of theinvention is to produce a simple andefiicient device for taking care of credit accounts, the cabinet access to-be had to t ebooks in the pocket of adapted to contain a series of hinged leaves having ockets therein, and in the provision of a'bai upon one of the leavesadaptd'to be held in one of. a.- series of corrugations formed in a strip upon the bottom of the casin whereby one or another of the leaveswit pockets may be presented for ready access and adapte to contain-account-books.

The invention consists, further,in various other .details of construction and combine;- 1 tions and arrangements of parts, which will be'hereinafterfully described and then specifically defined in the appended claims.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, in which* Figural is a perspective v ew showing my improved cabinet 0 en-and in readiness for a certain hinged leaf. Fig. 2 is a view of the cabinet closed, and Fig. 3 isa sectional view 1 showing the means for holding. the leaves at diiferent angles.

Reference now being had to the details of thedrawings by letter,A designates a casing ofthe cabinet, which is open upon one. side and has a hinged end B to which is fastened a hinged cover 6, which as its opposite longitudmal ed es flanged, as at O, and adapted to fit over t 1e top of the casing.

D designates a, latch which is'hinged to one end of the box and has an eye adapted to receive a staple E, fixed to the'cover, which staple is designed to'be engaged by a hook E upon the latch.

inner. end of each strip F is hingedto the H H designate a series'of leaves each of I which is hinged to said hinged end, and each of said leaves contains a series of pockets N, 1n which account-books are adapted to be' held in the manner shown in the drawings.

Beginning with the innermost of said leaves thelatter are numbered in consecutive order,- -and the innermost of the leaveshas pivotally connected thereto abail O, the swinging portion of which is adapted to engage one or another of the (grooves Qin the corrugated strip R, fastene to the bottom of the casing. Upon said bottomof the casin appear the letters of the alphabet. in parallel columns, thereby allowing ready access to be had to the particularbooks desired.

When the device is closed, it will be noted customer, saving. the keeping of the usualday-book and ledger and a great amount of w work in making out itemized bills for customers. 1 Books kept in a-cabinet made in accordance with my invention and which will be readily accessible may be quickly itemized and made ready for settlement and a person may be kept constantly in touch with the accounts and. readily ascertain the amount owing fromeach.
